Dog days of summer...and new quilt in Laura Gunn Poppy

I'm back from my last mini-holiday of the summer. (By the way, I stopped reporting when I was leaving due to stories about people being robbed!). I visited a girlfriend in Palm Desert for 5 days and if you want hot that's where you go in August. Actually it was a little too hot:) Got back in time for a relaxing weekend before the work week started again. Spent the day Saturday in Napa in wine country...driving between wineries, sampling some great wines and taking in a terrific lunch. We're kind of spoiled. I tend to forget that people from all over the world plan their vacations to be here and if we feel like popping in for lunch on any given day we can do that!

This is my first vacation time in awhile without major sewing and/or quilting but managed to get this pieced and quilted Sunday and Monday evening. I just love the backing fabric (Big Poppy from the Laura Gunn Poppy line). More pics available in my Etsy shop!
